A man who was shot in the neck Sunday night has died from his injuries.

Daniel Gonzales, 29, was found bleeding heavily about 8 p.m. outside an apartment building in the 2500 block of Westward Drive, according to an incident report. A large crowd had gathered around him and someone had placed towels around his head.

Witnesses said the victim and his brothers were outside the building when a man in his late 20s pulled up in a Chevrolet Suburban and implied that they had been “talking (expletive).”

Another witness told police the shooter said, “I heard y'all were looking for a bowl of sugar.”

The brothers told police they heard the gun being cocked and ran away, not realizing Gonzales had been hit.

Neighbors said the shooter then drove away, disregarding a stop sign.

A motive in the shooting was not known Monday morning.

Police in patrol cars and in the department's helicopter, Eagle, searched for the suspect unsuccessfully.
